Seminary Olympics... for the sport of it

The opening ceremonies
Seminary Olympics held in the yard of our home in Hong Kong with inter-Asian and inter-national students. .... something we first experienced at LSTChicago many years ago. The Hong Kong version included the 1) cardboard slalom doubles event, 2) edible medals, and 3) fastest recitation of the books of the Bible (in one's own language). Below are some of the top contenders, can you recognize the languages? Can you guess who won?


Notice the fancy footwear for the "slalom doubles"

Alas, the edible medals did not last the night...




Sometimes it's good just to have fun together!


You've all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. 
All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. 
You're after one that's gold eternally.

-- St. Paul writing in I Corinthians 9:24-25  THE MESSAGE BIBLE
